Hobbies & games · Integrated time planning
Do I have time to buy this game?
Insert a new game now, after the current game, or at the end to compare its start, finish, backlog delay, and expected cost per hour.
Preparing the calculator.
Method and interpretation
This plans when you could start and what would be delayed; it does not declare whether you can afford or should buy the game. A goal date can also be rechecked against the new queue.
Why the result can vary
Purchase timing, discounts, abandoned play, added content, and changing availability affect the result.
Example
Start a new 40-hour game now
Inputs: A 40-hour game costing 69,800, an existing backlog, and 11 hours per week
Outcome: See the new start and finish, delay to each existing game, and expected cost per hour.
Cautions
- Price and playtime are your assumptions; no store or external database is queried.
- Check budget and refund terms separately from the time calculation.

Frequently asked questions
How do ‘now’ and ‘after current’ differ?
Now puts the new game first. After current finishes the first backlog game before starting the new one.
Can I see how much existing games are delayed?
Yes. Each matching game's completion date is compared before and after insertion to report delay days.
Does the calculator recommend buying it?
No. It makes time and cost impact visible; combine that with budget, taste, priorities, and refund terms.
